10:30 pm
united made to wait for it but in this year's delayed competition, that perhaps feels fitting. adam wild, bbc news. the queen and the prime minister have led the tributes to veterans and serving military personnel to mark armed forces day. the red arrows performed a fly—past over scarborough. the annual parades, which normally take place around the country, have been cancelled because of coronavirus. that's all from me. goodnight. hello. well the fresh weather is here to stay for the foreseeable future, at hello. after all of last week's heat, things already feeling fresher out there.
10:31 pm
that is the way it is set this stay as we go into our new week. we have switched from warm continental air into the cooler atlantic air. also a more unsettled look to the weather as low pressure is now driving things in quite a big low to the north of the uk on sunday, it will make for quite a windy day and some persistent rain close to the centre of that low affecting scotland, northern ireland and northern england, times extending into north wales too. to the south, perhaps a couple of showers around but i think a lot of dry weather actually for sotuh wales and southern england and parts of east anglia and the midlands. as i said, a windy day and particularly gusty, high ground and some of those a0 to 45 mph. in terms of the temperatures, considerably lower than the numbers we saw through the end of the week. by a factor of 10 degrees, 15 degrees for glasgow, close to 30 on thursday.
10:32 pm
still looking pretty went overnight sunday into monday, across the northern half of the uk, still pretty breezy but again, a fresh night with temperatures getting down into the low teens. as for monday, the low is still sitting in the same place. the north of the uk. grinds to a halt for the next 48 hours. rain far south as the north midlands and into north wales. cannot rule out a few showers further south. it will be more clouded. and the driest of the weather. top temperatures, high teens at best. definitely into fresher regime now. tuesday and wednesday, thursday, the middle part of the week, things look like they might become a little bit queit as the deep low centre drifts away and we are left with lighter winds and there should be some dry interludes. there we see low centre of scandinavia, it looks
10:33 pm
like the possibility of this little feature, coming into the south of the uk. we could flip things on their head for tuesday and wednesday, with a chance to more persistent cloud to the south of the uk and some rain around here and drier and brighter for scotland, northern ireland and northern england. temperatures in the high teens, perhaps 21 across east anglia. again for wednesday, a risk of the frontal system lingering to the south, some uncertainty about the exact position of that, greta chance on wednesday of showers for the north was still looking drier than has done to the latter part of the weekend, to the early part of the week across scotland and northern ireland and northern england. and then for the remainder of the week, look towards the atlantic for a deep area of low pressure rolling injust—in—time and next weekend and then on into the start of the following week perhaps something a little drier but generally no sign of that big ridge of high pressure pushing from the continent and we introduced the heat in any great hurry.
10:34 pm
it looks like pretty unsettled for the end of the week across the northern half of the uk. also further south, perhaps escaping with comparatively dry weather here and there are just some signs getting into the start of the following week of some warth beginning to return. we will keep you posted. hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment.
quote
10:35 pm
first, the headlines. the man who stabbed six people in a glasgow hotel yesterday is named as barrideen abadlla adam, originally from sudan. a vigil is held to remember the victims of the reading stabbing attack — as police charge a 25—year—old libyan with three counts of murder. british holiday—makers are set to be allowed to travel to much of europe this summer without having to self—isolate for 14 days. an extra time goal from harry maguire sends manchester united past norwich into the fa cup semi finals. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers
10:36 pm
will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are sian griffiths, education editor at the sunday times — and john rentoul, chief political commentator at the independent. tomorrow's front pages...starting with... the observer goes with a warning from the labour party that unemployment in britain could soar to levels not seen since the 1980s unless ministers boost support for businesses struggling because of the lockdown. the express turns it's attention to the economy too. the paper leads with a pledge from the prime minister that he'll dramatically accelerate" construction boost economic recovery. the mail on sunday says borisjohnson has promised to spend tens of billions of pounds to save the british economy from disaster in the wake of the coronavirus epidemic, including the building of hospitals, schools and new housing. the telegrpah says sir mark sedwill, the uk's most senior civil servant, will announce his departure as early as this week under borisjohnson‘s
10:37 pm
plans for a shake—up of the civil service. and the sunday times leads with the news that the housing secretary robertjenrick failed to inform his most senior planning officials that he had met and texted a tory donor before he overruled their advice and approved a one billion pound property deal. so let's begin... john and sean. let start with the front page of the mail on sunday. it has possibly a rather alarming site of the prime minister doing press ups for the paper. where should we start? this is actually from an interview to go with the photograph, is in there? it is. the remarkable photograph actually. of the prime minister on his front doing press ups trying to prove that he is as fit as a yorkshire dog as he put it.
10:38 pm
but it is an interesting interview. i'm not sure if it is as reassuring as the prime minister intended to be. if covid was the lightning flashed, we are about to have the thunderclap of the economic consequences. he is preparing us for the shock and saying the government will spend a lot of money on building things as a response. sian, what did you make of this piece in the language that he uses, fit as a butcher stall? do people speak that way? boris fixed that way, doesn't he? it is always very colourful language from boris. —— a boris speaks that way. he gives a sense of everything will be all right. and thatis everything will be all right. and that is the message the government is trying to get across in this interview. the headlines is very optimistic, begging us to get britain blooming, they are planning to build 40 new hospitals, create 10,000 extra present places, to
10:39 pm
schools, rebuilding programmes, and the aim is thatjohn said to try schools, rebuilding programmes, and the aim is that john said to try and sure of the economy and to try and protect the jobs of so many workers who are likely to lose theirjobs i'iow who are likely to lose theirjobs now when the following scheme ends. so it isa now when the following scheme ends. so it is a kind of very upbeat interview and i think the key quote is this one, want to get back to a world where we are as close to normal as possible. i think the pictures of him doing press ups and the common said is full of beans instead as a butcher stall all designed to create that mood of optimism in the public. —— as a butcher stock. when of course we are very anxious about the future and what it holds. the sunday times has a bit ofa what it holds. the sunday times has a bit of a corrective perhaps on his front page. john peers of the first local lockdown after covert spikes in city. that is a story about leicester, which has had a lot of cases in the past two weeks. ——
10:40 pm
covid spikes in the city. matt hancock is very worried about it but it says he is examining the legislation required for local shutdown. he is not sure if he has the powers under existing legislation but i'm sure that if he decides that that is the thing to do, a way will be found to impose a local lockdown. that is quite interesting because everybody is worried about this possible second wave of infections, although there is no evidence of it so far. but if it does happen, the government is helping to control a local lockdown rather than another national lockdown. this could be a test case. sian, some of the details of the story is interesting. it talked about the fact that meat processing pla nts about the fact that meat processing plants have been linked to outbreaks in that is the case in leicester as
10:41 pm
well. that is right. i think 658 cases in the leicester area in a fortnight after june the cases in the leicester area in a fortnight afterjune the 16th and as you said, several of them have been linked to food processing plants, and we know from america they have been tens of thousands, about 25,000 meat and poultry workers reported to have contracted covid—19. i think people think that it is kind of the damp cold indoor conditions in these plants, and they have been recognised as perfect environment for the spread of covid—19. interesting as a government official start to look at where the outbreaks happening now. they are looking to identify places where they are more likely to happen is certainly food processing plants, and also the less i think gatherings outside of takeaways have been identified as a source takeaways have been identified as a source of the problem. so it is interesting because in leicester they have open up a lot of schools but during this outbreak, five schools have closed and i thinkjohn
10:42 pm
is right come in september when the government says it wants everybody to go back to school and the children to go back to school, their parents can go back to work in the economy can start to flow more freely again, i think there is a lot of talk about if there is an outbreak, that you just lockdown that local region and i think that will be the sort of way that one of the ways that they try and deal with the ways that they try and deal with the spikes in the infection in the autumn. you just have a regional lockdown and it will be interesting to see what happens now. let's go to the front page of the observer. and other covid—i9 related story. this one about the economy and jobless levels. yes. a fascinating political struggle and tomorrow's newspapers. you have the prime minister. tomorrownews today. the prime minister worried aboutjobs tomorrownews today. the prime minister worried about jobs and tomorrownews today. the prime minister worried aboutjobs and then the labour party were ending the
10:43 pm
prime minister about unemployment in the observer. it does sketch out the form of the political struggle that is going to take place over the next few months and possibly years. what unemployment absolutely centre stage. and that is absolutely right because people quite often pose it asa because people quite often pose it as a choice between saving lives and getting the economy going again. with the economy is an abstract thing. it is people'sjobs and livelihoods and ultimately their health and another dimension. so that if the balancing act that the government will have to be performing over the next two months. sian interesting the list of occupations and workplaces that labour isn't worried about. they list a few nightclubs, casinos,
10:44 pm
gems, pulls a bowling alley. —— is worried about. beauty and tanning salon. all the experience type industries that have been filling our high streets as people have moved online shopping. it is the experiences on the high street that people have been going for a get these are very vulnerable. yes. very vulnerable. in all of those sectors that you mention don't at the moment have any dates for reopening safely. they are still in lockdown. and obviously the longer they are in lockdown, the more vulnerable these industries become. and i think there are question marks affect about whether some of these facilities will open up again at all. i did a story today about swimming pools and a lot of council leaders are worried that some of the swimming pools will never reopen, which is tragic really because it is one of our great sports in the uk but it will be very expensive to reopen some of these facilities after they have been close with such a long time. sol
10:45 pm
think what labour is saying is that the government should look at protecting jobs and those sectors in particular and of course the government is getting his construction programme which will protect otherjobs, so very worrying andl protect otherjobs, so very worrying and i think were tickly working for younger people, there's in a plumbing problem because it is always young people in a recession will get laid off first and find it difficult. that's employment problem. —— coming out of university disco. it would be nice if there we re disco. it would be nice if there were special attention paid to young people and a lot of talk about maybe having a new apprenticeship programme and offering them free training in colleges to get skills for a year, so it would be nice to think that we were looking after our young. and there is a speech by the prime minister this week and another went by the chancellor next month so went by the chancellor next month so we will see if that message is heated. the front page of the sunday telegraph, whitehall revolution.
10:46 pm
what is this, john? this is rumours which have been growing over the week about the future of the cabinet secretary, the top civil servant in the country, and dominic cummings, the country, and dominic cummings, the prime chief adviser was quoted during the week as saying that a ha rd during the week as saying that a hard rain will fall for some aspects of whitehall. it wasn't clear what he was talking about. the times this morning suggested that his job is on the line and out the sunday telegraph is waiting into. we are expecting to find out more on monday, but so far it is shrouded in mystery. what might he have done wrong? element i got to present anything specifically wrong. in relationships and in number ten, they are always difficult to manage. and it was up in personal chemistry. it was assumed that he would leave
10:47 pm
number ten when boris johnson it was assumed that he would leave number ten when borisjohnson became prime minister, that he will go off and be an ambassador in washington or something. —— in whitehall. and be an ambassador in washington orsomething. —— in whitehall. he stayed on and show some survival instinct, but there have been rumours and suggestions of tension between him and the prime minister and between him and dominic cummings in particular. sian, this might at other times have been thought perhaps to be one of those beltway stories, but everybody now knows who dominic cummings is and do you think one would imagine this would cut through rather more than a would have been otherwise? yes. dominic cummings is becoming more famous than many ministers actually. and again, i'm always interested in the language. the language is so colourful with dominic cummings like with borisjohnson colourful with dominic cummings like with boris johnson when colourful with dominic cummings like with borisjohnson when he says things like hard rain is going to fall. i don't know. it is not what
10:48 pm
you associate with the civil service but that you think that civil service to theirjobs quietly behind the scenes and all of this briefing into the newspapers about particular civil servants, it is such a different way of operating a thing. it is not what we are used to in the uk. and i'm sure forthe it is not what we are used to in the uk. and i'm sure for the civil servants who are at the centre of this it is very difficult to be briefed about in this way on the front pages of the national newspaper. i suppose they cannot respond, can they? they cannot usually. let's go to the front page of the independent now. john, terry drills for schools, hospitals and officers and this event back link to the easing of lockdown. -- terry drills. it is that it is more to do with the recent attack that happened at reading where someone went on a mini rampage with a knife but there
10:49 pm
was also the london bridge attacks recently and there have been several of these and they are very difficult to defend against obviously. the so—called a lone wolf quite often a disturbed individual with a weapon, and this is just a suggestion from the government that schools and offices ought to carry out rehearsals for what should happen in the case of one of marauder attacks. i think the case of one of marauder attacks. ithinki the case of one of marauder attacks. i think i was linking it to the easing of lockdown partly because we had a warning this evening to head of counter terrorism and policing who was saying that as we come out of lockdown, people should really stay alert for this sort of potential for this sort of attack. absolutely. people have been in their homes and having been going
10:50 pm
into what opposite or schools very much but as we come a locked down out and about more, the potential for a terror attack increases also personally, i've actually been been a lockdown in the newspaper office twice during terror attacks. this warning from priti patel that it was a good idea to practice terry drills and offices is very timely and very sensible. —— terror drills looked up it can make the difference between living and dying if you are in the vicinity and a terror attack and you are kept in lockdown in your building. safely into the dangerous past. can ijust take building. safely into the dangerous past. can i just take you building. safely into the dangerous past. can ijust take you back building. safely into the dangerous past. can i just take you back to the observer at its front page photo craft? very striking, john, taking the knee, not something you see on a tennis court very often. no. we haven't seen much tennis recently.
10:51 pm
it only has just restarted. andy murray taking the knee with his opponent and whose name has temporarily escaped me and the empire come all three of them on the court showing their respect and the support for the black lives matter campaign. —— the umpire. support for the black lives matter campaign. -- the umpire. his opponent is dan evans, fellow britain and the umpire is james key off. i really striking image, is it? it is. very striking image. we have seen it is. very striking image. we have seen football is taking the knee and the black lives matter protest and demonstrations are still continuing spark by the tragic death of george floyd in america. i think it is really interesting the way this has almost captured the imagination of everybody was up it is no mistaking the focus away from covid—19 for a
10:52 pm
while. and a universities we nursing students protesting statues to be toppled. —— actual nursing students. we see children saying they want more books by black authors on the curriculum was not a very interesting to see andy murray indent evidence taking the knee today and great to see andy murray playing so well as well. after his pelvic injury. and he didn't win but you he still played well and it was nice to see. we have to leave it there for the moment. thank you both very much for the time being. that's it for the papers this hour. john and sian will be back at 11.30 for round two. goodbye for now. hello, i'm 0lly foster at the bbc sport centre.
10:53 pm
manchester united are the first team through to the fa cup semi—finals. they made hard work of it against ten man norwich with the winner coming in extra time. it finished 2—1 at carrow road. adam wild reports. amidst the precautions and delays, the fa cup like so much else has been made to wait. norwich against manchester united was scheduled for the end of march. instead this was the first ever fa cup tie to be played injune. the wait for some real excitement though went on a little longer. it was the second half before finally an opportunity presented itself. 0dion ighalo improvising a finish. 1—0 united. but despite their troubles in the premier league, norwich fought all the way. todd cantwell‘s excellent equalising effortjust reward for those endeavours. they would now have to play out extra time a man down. tim close just getting, well, a little too close.
10:54 pm
the prospect of penalties, late drama was becoming inevitable. harry maguire the man to eventually provide it. a winning goal withjust moments remaining. united made to wait for it but in this year's delayed competition, that perhaps feels fitting. adam wild, bbc news. united made eight changes to their starting 11 for that tie, perhaps that explains why they struggled. the game was not the greatest, not the spectacle, but i felt that we kept the ball 0k the spectacle, but i felt that we kept the ball ok but we didn't read it enough and increased chances. but you are delighted that you are in the semifinals, where in the last four, good work out. we got minutes into many players, resting quite a few, and some nice goals and good for harry to get the winter. —— get the winter. we had only one games in the prmier league today. aston villa only needed a draw
10:55 pm
to move out of the releagtion zone but they lost 1—0 to wolves at villa park — leander dendonka with the goal. villa remain second from bottom with just six games left. wolves though are up to fifth and still in contention for champions league football next season. we got a lot of second balls that was important in this game in the beginning to be able to settle in that possession and the moment that we started hitting the ball better and faster, would cannot balance. and after that was the second after we scored was to hold on and be compact and stay on shape and react in trying to go but we didn't create many chances after that so was about holding the game. it was crazy. i know we had a game in hand but for us to play 48 hours, will play newcastle, then we played the wolves, why this game could have been tomorrow or monday i don't know. —— can i have been. they make it more bespectacled. it is hard watching. we've had fans here and no atmosphere. even harder when the
10:56 pm
players are playing fatigued and it should have been organised to bit better in my opinion. test cricket is fast approaching, england host three tests against the west indies next month. the england players are continuing their preparations at southampton while the windies are training at old trafford, another bio—safe ground. england captainjoe root has a full strength squad and says they'll improve as a team with that competition for places. it dries performances up. it is something we see on that side for a long period of time now. —— it drives up the performance. the success has been on the back of that. hopefully we are in a position where we can do the same within the testing. hopefully this is a sign of things to come for us in the future in the coming weeks and beyond and building towards another one in australia. british number one dan evans will face kyle edmund in the battle of brits final after coming from behind to beat the three—time
10:57 pm
grand slam champion andy murray. this is murray's first tournament since november but he looked to be well in control after taking the first set 6—1. evans fought back to level the match one set all, and then won a first to ten tie—break10—8 to claim his place in tomorrow's final against edmund who beat cameron norrie. the matches are taking place at the national tennis centre in roehampton that's all the sport for now. well, the heatwave's long gone and there's absolutely no chance of those temperatures reaching the values we were experiencing any time soon. if anything, it's going to turn even cooler, and the top of that, pretty windy for the time of the year on sunday. now, at the moment, clouds are spiralling across the uk. that's a sign that low pressure has paid us a visit. it's here to stay for the next two or three days, and basically, the closer you are to the centre of this low pressure, the more likely you are to run into rain, and heavy rain for parts
10:58 pm
of northern ireland, western scotland, the lake district and down into lancashire. but further away from that low, the south and south east will be dry. and you can see the weather's mostly dry in the south in the early hours on sunday morning. you can see where that low is. quite a few isobars there, so that means the winds racing around the area of low pressure. this is what it looks like early in the morning, so frequent showers across the north and the rain remaining heavy across cumbria, for example, through the course of the day. the drier weather will be across east anglia, the south here, where the gusts of wind will be strong, particularly across the southern half of the uk. they'll be approaching or even exceeding 40 mph, which is strong for this time of the year. let's have a look at the picture around 4pm in the afternoon. you can see but predominantly dry weather across the south with temperatures 17—20, so it will feel cool because of those strong winds. then we've got that area of heavy rain around like across lancashire, the lake district, parts
10:59 pm
of northern ireland, south—west and western scotland here, so these areas getting a real dose of rain. and the winds will be pretty strong at times here as well. so, some big contrasts across the uk during the course of sunday. now, here's monday, and the low pressure is still over us. you can see it's blowing around scotland, the winds are blowing around as well. gusts of wind again approaching 30—40 mph. the most frequent showers will be the closer you are to the centre of that low pressure, so once again on monday, i think the weather across the south will be drier and brighter and only around 19 degrees. now, the temperatures might creep up a little bit across the south to the low 20s, which is actually below the average for the time of the year. but i think frequent showers expected across many other parts of the uk. that's it from me. bye— bye.
11:00 pm
